Test Drive and Braking

33 Press down the foot switch.

34 Slowly move the drive control handle in the direction indicated by the blue arrow on the control panel until the machine begins to move, then return the handle to the center position.

Result: The machine should move in the direction that the blue arrow points on the drive chassis, then come to an abrupt stop.

35 Slowly move the drive control handle in the direction indicated by the yellow arrow on the control panel until the machine begins to move, then return the handle to the center position.

Result: The machine should move in the direction that the yellow arrow points on the drive chassis, then come to an abrupt stop.

Note: The brakes must be able to hold the machine on any slope it is able to climb.

Test the Drive Enable System

36 Press down the foot switch and lower the boom to the stowed position.

37 Rotate the turntable until the primary boom moves past one of the non-steer wheels.

Result: The drive enable indicator light should come on and remain on while the boom is anywhere in the range shown.

38 Move the drive control handle off center.

Result: The drive function should not operate.

FUNCTION TESTS

39 Move and hold the drive enable toggle switch to either side and slowly move the drive control handle off center.

Result: The drive function should operate.

Note: When the drive enable system is in use, the machine may drive in the opposite direction that the drive and steer control handle is moved.

Test the Oscillate Axle (oscillating axle-equipped models)

40 Start the engine from the platform controls.

41 Drive the right steer tire up onto a 6 inch / 15 cm block or curb.

Result: The three remaining tires should stay in firm contact with the ground.

42 Drive the left steer tire up onto a 6 inch / 15 cm block or curb.

Result: The three remaining tires should stay in firm contact with the ground.

43 Drive both steer tires up onto a 6 inch / 15 cm block or curb.

Result: The non-steer tires should stay in firm contact with the ground.

Z-60, Z-34 specifications

The Genie Z-60 and Z-34 are two of the standout models in Genie’s line of articulating boom lifts, designed for versatility, efficiency, and superior performance. Both models cater to a wide range of applications, from construction and maintenance to industrial and municipal use, ensuring they can meet diverse operational needs.

Starting with the Genie Z-60, this model features a remarkable working height of up to 66 feet and a horizontal outreach of 44 feet. Its impressive lifting capacity of 500 pounds allows for the transport of heavy tools and personnel, making it ideal for tasks that require both reach and strength. The Z-60 is equipped with a proven hydraulic lift system, ensuring smooth operation and reliability. The machine’s tight turning radius enhances maneuverability, allowing it to navigate through congested job sites with ease.

The Genie Z-34, on the other hand, offers a more compact solution with a maximum working height of 40 feet and a horizontal outreach of 21 feet. While it has a slightly lower lifting capacity compared to the Z-60, at 500 pounds, its smaller size allows for access to tighter spaces. The Z-34 is powered by a potent electric drive, making it an excellent choice for indoor applications and noise-sensitive environments.

One of the key features of both models is their advanced articulating boom design, which provides flexible positioning and the ability to reach over obstacles, making them highly effective for complex tasks. The telescopic boom arm allows for greater vertical reach and the ability to position the platform exactly where it's needed. Safety is paramount in the design of both boom lifts, with features such as dual circuit hydraulic systems and standard operator presence sensing systems to ensure worker protection.

Both models come with Genie’s exclusive Active Slope Sense™ technology, which automatically detects the grade angle of the work surface and adjusts the machine's performance accordingly. This feature enhances stability and ensures operators can work safely on varied terrain.

With easy-to-use controls and a compact design, the Genie Z-60 and Z-34 offer reliable solutions for professionals looking to optimize their lifting capabilities while ensuring safety and efficiency. Whether on a construction site, in a warehouse, or at a municipal facility, these boom lifts deliver performance and reliability to meet modern-day challenges. Their combination of innovative technology and robust engineering makes them essential tools in today’s mechanized work environment.
